Steve: Rough choice. We're getting to see on a macro scale what happened 6 months ago with free webspace providers like Homestead. Half the reason I stick with GeoCities for my tiny little site is because they can handle the traffic, and have put up roadblocks to mechanical harvesters. Let me ask you: if there were a software solution which deterred these d/l accelerators, would you still need to go to being a pay site?
